Oh, well that would be easier for me since it stays more in my familiar 
realm.  (Preupgrade looks neat, but my norm is fresh installs + puppet.) 
Should this wisdom (both waiting until Beta and that link) be incorporated 
into 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Branched#Yum_update_from_previous_official_release 
?

If I have to I will, but where's the fun in that?  ;-)

Nice to know, thanks.  I'm having lots of fun seeing what it takes to get 
Fedora out the door since I'm making my own derived Live spins for 
internal company use on embedded systems.  I face many of the same 
challenges.
